I have gone to conventions, I'll say it on the record. 'We want to know what's out there as much as you do,' Moultrie said, adding that he was a fan of science fiction. It's why we've endeavored to concentrate on this data driven process to derive fact based results,' Bray said. However, understanding can take significant time and effort. I want immediate explanations for this as much as anyone else. And as a lifelong intelligence professional, I'm impatient. 'We are all curious and we seek to understand the unknown. 'We have eliminated the stigma,' added Bray. 'We'll go wherever the data takes us,' he said.

The House Intelligence Committee's Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee dove into details on reports of 'unidentified aerial phenomena' (UAEs), what UFOs are more recently known as. Ronald Moultrie, the Pentagon's top intelligence official, and Scott Bray, the deputy director of naval intelligence, testified before the panel.
